[Desktop] Select default sound device for Spotify Connect

Currently Spotify defaults to using the default sound device when launched, it would be neat if you could choose which sound device you want to use instead in the options screen.

 

Thanks

Yes - I use a headset for skype - as soon as plug it in spotify comes out the device - Which is really annoying; I would like to be able to choose the device so i can do spotify on my big speakers, and skype on a headset at same time.

Spotify should be ashamed that this basic feature for any audio application still hasn't been added.

Here are 71 requests, first being from 3 years ago. It seems that they just won't do it. (It seems that the site is going to be shut down after the end of March, so here is a screenshot).

You can change your default device through the windows volume settings, right click the speaker symbol in the bottom right of your screen and select playback devices.  Then right click the one device you want to use and select "set as default device".

 

Should still be an option in spotify, the skype implementation is a fine example.

Skype indeed is a fine example.

 

Make this work on Mac (Windows perhaps too).

 

Thank you.

Please add this feature! It's crucial for any media player imo.

Also missing from the Linux version, used to be able to go to spotify:config2 in the windows version but not any more (afaik) - it's such a basic setting which folk have been requesting for YEARS.
